How to value a web site?

Hello,

I've lurked on this list since July of 1996; found it useful
but never had much to contribute.

Now, however, I have a question. We are considering the
sale of one of the sites that we run. The site (the Linux
Weekly News, http://lwn.net), has been quite successful over
the last year, with a steeply increasing rate of traffic.
We believe it is one of the premier Linux-related sites.

My question is this: how does one put a value onto a web
site? Are there any formulas or rules of thumb which people
use to arrive at a starting point for such a valuation? Any
resources out there which can help with this task?

Many thanks,
